OK I'm working a deal on a b3030 with cab 63" front mount blower with hydraulic rotator, and front end loader with 60" bucket. the cab has rear wiper and defrost but no radio. So I'm trading a bx2350 with front end loader and 60" mmm. The difference I have to pay is 18,911. the break down is this and I know its a numbers game but this is what he's showing.
b3030 w/cab 23,977
63" blower 4,888
front loader 4,238
total 33,103
minus bx2350 14,192
equals I pay 18,911
So is this a fair deal. I know I'm paying pretty much close to list on tractor and implements but there is also no way he is selling my Bx for 14 either, he could show me more off new and less for my trade, but like I said its all numbers game. Do you think he has anymore room to move or not. So what do you guys think?

Save your money:
I would be more worried about the cabin on the model he is selling.
It is the EL most likely which is the least expensive model the ES being the middle, and EX being the top of the line cabin.
A lot of folks have had problems with some B3030 cabins from exhaust fumes coming in the cab,noise issues and inadequate defrosting etc.
I would ask Neal Messick which cabin comes standard-it is most likely the EL model,and several members have had a lot of problems with them being poor defrosting, poor air flow in general and tractor exhaust entering the cabin through the floor pedals and behind the console from what I remember reading.
They offer three cabin models from least offering number of amenities being the EL as a standard offering in equipment with the EM being the mid range to the EX with a large number of items which are standard equipment.
Look at the Kubota 8540 orchard tractor as it has the EX cab as standard equipment with pressurised and filtered air flow as standard equipment keeping the exhaust fumes out.

I think you will be better off and money ahead
as you would save more money in general as well as saving money on interest ordering an EX cab for your BX2350 and a snow blower with the rotator and chute control in my opinion.
You already have the power, the front end loader and the mower and own it.
and the blower is still available for the BX2350. You would probably need the high output alternator for the air conditioner and the extra work lights.
Dont let them tell you you can not order a new cab either-its really no diferent then starting from the bottom up at the assembly plant as the engines and trasmissions are imported and everything else is built or bought here as i was told.
You could order a cabin from Laurin directly too for that matter but import duties, GST(goods and service tax) and freight from Quebec would be an isssue that have to be paid in full to Laurin prior to delivery.
I would call Laurin as well.
The engine on your BX2350 is a basic engine having been built for many years and used for a lot of applications besides
a tractor-irrigation pumps, generators, Kubota farm machinery sold in Japan, etc.

to Barlows for a BX2660 and traded a L3240HST to a B3200 also at Barlows. Contact them and if you can't make a deal at least you can feel more secure with the pricing of your trade.
